A walk against domestic violence

Published 7:00 pm, Monday, November 3, 2008

The crowd that turned out on Oct. 5 served as testimony of the many friends and supporters the center has and without them we could never be the organization we are today.

Special thanks to our honorary chairs Peggy Kurinsky, Regina and Jill Fay and special guest, Officer Jose Agosto of the Danbury Police Department. Each provide invaluable support to the center as well as to those who turn to us for help 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Sincere thanks to the family members and friends of some of the individuals whose lives were brutally cut short at the hands of domestic violence. To see them carry the statues bearing the names and stories of their loved ones was incredibly moving and powerful proof that this crime exists within our neighborhoods.

Thank you to our I95 friends whose music kept everyone moving, to the local businesses who generously donated food, drink and goods and to center staff and volunteers who ensured the entire event was the success it was.

Thank you to all who have been and continue to be a part of our legacy. Without each of you giving so generously of your time, commitment, hard work, dedication and financial support, we would never be able to help the thousands we do.
